Okay, yes, I know it was a stupid mistake, but I somehow accidentally seem to have deleted my /Nowhere subdirectory. (I first recognized there was a problem when I found my OS/2 Launchpad had all of the icons replaced with question marks inside green circles!) Now I'm having some weird problems with some programs (eg, my PM Mail Internet mailer gives me onscreen "garbage" when I try to send a Reply message, etc). I don't see the /Nowhere subdirectory when I type DIR or DIR *. or DIR *.* from an OS/2 prompt in the C:\ root directory, although there *is* a \Nowhere directory listed when I look at the C: drive with the ZTree Bold shareware utility program. I tried to make a new Nowhere directory by going to an OS/2 prompt and typing MD Nowhere at the C:\ root directory, but the system says that there already *is* a subdirectory by that name! What do you suppose is going on? Can anyone suggest a way to fix this? I'm running IBM OS/2 Warp ver 3.0 "full pack" with the IBM XR_W012 Corrective Service Pack applied. The ver /r command returns the following: The Operating System/2 Version is 3.00 Revision 8.236 (If you post a reply here, please send a copy via direct E-mail to bbattles@nai.net, in case I miss reading it on this Newsgroup.)
